Check out these PS2 Classics that no gamer should be without.

It's one of the best-selling games consoles of all time. Groundbreaking power, iconic design and a huge catalogue of games - PlayStation 2 was the console to own back when it was released in 2000.

Many of the games were so good, they've been made available to download to PlayStation 3 either as PS2 Classics or remastered editions from PlayStation Store. You owe it to yourself to explore the richness of PlayStation heritage with these timeless classics.

Grand Theft Auto was the series that developer Rockstar was primarily known for back in 2006. With Canis Canem Edit came an entirely new game with an unexpected setting; the school playground. Dropped outside the worst school around, Bullworth Academy, you take control of Jimmy Hopkins, a mischievous schoolboy. Make friends to survive, play pranks and face off against the bullies.

Any discussion of game classics is incomplete without giving ICO and Shadow of the Colossus a mention. Both of these atmospheric epics have been remastered in glorious High Definition, so what are you waiting for?

While you wait for the latest Solid Snake outing from creator Hideo Kojima, check out his high-flying robot combat game with redrawn art, trophy support and all new animations from legendary animation studio Sunrise.
